Summary

Primary Care General Practitioners (GPs) are always looking at ways to improve the care of older people and ways to prevent older people from losing their independence. Pro-active provision of support often involves lifestyle advice and is a potentially important aspect of that, as it supports older people before acute care is needed. It's preventative caring, rather than reactive caring. But, implementing pro-active care is hampered by the high current workload of acute care, the uncertainty of 'what works' and whether patients are responsive to pro-active care plans. This project will explore different ways of providing pro-active support to older people who could be at risk of losing their independence and requiring frequent acute care. The benefits of pro-active care are arguably the greatest in these individuals.

Frailty care pathway for older people in a rural primary care setting

This intervention will take place in different primary care providers in a rural environment. Each provider will have one intervention and a no-intervention group, which will be part of the feasibility evaluation. The intervention will comprise a consultation with the participant, based on the different approaches described in the arm descriptions.
